In reply to Wellbutrin fast acting or build up?, posted by action on February 16, 2004, at 7:41:43

I couldn't continue with it as it made me too anxious and insomniac -even hypomanic at the "usual" full dose. My MD had to add benzos and sleeping pills (Imovane/zopiclone) which I am still on.
It sure FEELS like a dopamine booster to me, but maybe I wasn't on it long enough (2 months if I remember correctly) for the dopamine deactivating effect to start.
